It's easy to look the other way.  It's not so easy to look in the right direction.  I'll be it has happened to you.  Compassion is not an easy habit to grow.  But God want's us to echo His compassion for us.  Here is how you can do that.

Speed bumps, cloudy days, past-due bills, unfriendly neighbors and whatever comes your way.  That's life, and it's not going to change anytime soon.  Question is, how do you deal with the not so nice stuff?  Listen, and learn how, right now.

So, we're born with purpose.  That's a fact.  Some achieve that purpose and others skate through life without impacting anything.  Other's take life by storm and make a lasting impression with their purpose.  Are you looking for yours?

Life is bumpy and comes with some unexpected surprises, the ones we don't like to see.  So if that's a fact, and it is, how can we build a dally trust that get's us through the unexpected?  It's all about believing, and trusting, daily.

There's always room for improvement, right?  Problem is, many folks look backwards instead of forwards.  You can't dwell on the past and expect tomorrow to get better.  Look to God for direction and inspiration.  Yes, you can become a better servant when you do that.

Humility, it's not always easy to be at that place.  But humility is the first step in connecting and receiving God's pardon.  Put down the excuses and come prepared to accept His grace.

Friendships and relationships grow stronger when we work at making them stronger.  If you have been introduced to God, schedule a time and have a conversation.  Then build on that friendship by deepening the relationship.  This friend will never let you down.

Sometimes the things that are elusive, are right in front of our eyes.  If we are not tuned in, listening like we should, we miss that opportunity to connect.  Miss a stop sign, get a ticket.  Miss the chance to connect with God, discover the downside of life.

Excuses, are worthless.  Excuses are a defense mechanism, an easy way out.  Blame somebody else and you are not focusing on the one thing that will make you a better person.  It's not the devil's fault, it's on you.
